a vast amount of distress; the funds at their

The Philosopher's Stone,
The eccentric, but brilliant, John Ran
dolph, once rose suddenly up io his sent
in the House ot Representatives and
scremmed out at the top ol his shrill voice :
Mr. Speaker I I have disoovered the
philosopher's stone. It is Iiy as you
go!"
John Randolph dropped many rich
gems from his mouth, but never a richer
one than that.
"Pay as you go," and you need not
dodge sheriffs and constables.
Pay as you go," and you can walk the
streets with an erect buck and a manly
Iron', and you have no lear ot those you
meet You can look at any man in the
eye w'thout flinching. You won't have
to rross the highway to avoid a dun, or
look intently into the shi p windows to
avoid seeing a creditor.
"Pay as you go," and you can snap
vour fingers at the world, and when you
1 tugh, it will be u hearty honest, one. It
seems to us, sometimes, tl at we can
almost tell the laugh of a poor debtor.
He looks around as though he was in
doubt whether the laugh was not the
property of his creditors, and not included
in articles "exempted from attachment."
When he does succeed in getting out an
abortion he appears Irightened, and
looks us though he expected it would be
poured upon by a constable.
"Pay hs you go," and you will meet
smiling laces at home happy cherry-
cheeked smiling children a contented
wile a cheerlul henrth-stone.
John Randolph was right. It is the
philosopher s stone.
